Rob Edwards and O'Neil represent the early candidates under consideration to succeed Vitor Pereira as head coach of Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Pereira was dismissed on Sunday after the squad's ten-game winless beginning to the Premier League campaign.

And both candidates - both of who have historic associations to the club - are part of the options to be evaluated by the club ownership.

Edwards is presently at another club, which would create a potential obstacle to his hiring at Molineux.

Nevertheless the former Luton head coach - who made over a century of appearances for Wolves during his time as a player - is said to be a strong candidate for the position.

The mid-career manager is reportedly enjoys support from the Wolves directors as they begin the process of appointing a fresh manager.

Gary O'Neil is also appearing as a surprise candidate, even though he would be a surprising appointment given he was sacked by the club in the previous winter.

The ex- West Ham United midfielder is currently unemployed meaning the club would not need to provide any buyout fee.
